This November Stieg Larsson's 'Lisbeth Salander' returns to the big screen in The Girl in the Spider's Web, but this time she's looking a little different with Claire Foy portraying the Swedish hacker heroine that has been played by Rooney Mara and Noomi Rapace in the past.

This movie directed by Fede Álvarez is based on the fourth book in the Millennium novels, the first not written by her creator but authored by David Lagercrantz continuing the book series.

The young computer superhacker is hired by a scientist to get his deadly work back and along with journalist 'Mikael Blomkvist' (this time played by Sverrir Gudnason) she find herself in a web of spies, cybercriminals and corrupt government officials.

These striking billboards for the crime thriller were spied above the Sunset Strip and along Sepulveda Boulevard from October 17 to October 22, 2018.

It's nice that this movie isn't a remake of a Swedish-language film (as the 2011 version was) and as there's another book ready to be adapted, let's see if this new film can snare a big enough audience in its web to secure a sequel.UPDATED: Here's another striking billboard creative for the movie spied along La Brea Avenue on November 14, 2018.
